Just messing around with some of these cars between model projects. Needed to do something a little less time consuming. Nothing special really. Cars disassembled. I prepped and primed the bodies and the sprayed with White Lightning which comes out a cool silver color over the gray primer. I then applied the custom decals and cleared over them when dry.

That's awesome! Where'd you find decals so small?

[cobraman]

Thanks Alan, let me get back to you on the decal maker. I have the name somewhere around here.

[cobraman]

Alan. The decals can be found by searching for Flamingcolors.com. They are nice decals and have several to choose from. If you order some remember that they will need to be clear coated prior to using them.

You are correct.

[CadillacPat]

You are correct.

Yes, projects on these little 1/64 DieCast can really become involved depending on how you work them.
Prepping a HW body, priming, colorcoats, Decals, Clear, wheelswaps, can all become easily as intricate as box kits and good Custom Graphics alone can take a couple of days to create and size.
For me, 1/64 DieCast are the perfect Model allowing all my concentration to be on the body, paint, Graphics and wheels.
